Now most of the
women who are engaged in embroidery are more than 40years old, young people
feel that doing this is not better than migrant workers. It can not only
earn money but also bad for the eyes. Li Huilian is the president of the
Dazhai Village Arts and Crafts Association, their association has only
started to operate, and there are only 20 members. "Mainly middle-aged
women, the most are more than 40 years old." She introduced it. "Young
people do not love to do this, and they feel that doing this is not better
than migrant workers.” In recent years, the income of migrant workers is
high. It is estimated that the people who do the arts and crafts in the
county have reduced almost a half.
Embroidery is a kind of handicraft work, which requires talent, not anyone
can do it. And now young people go to school from childhood,and almost never
had needle thread experience." Liaijie said who hadlearned the embroidery
with grandmother from her childhood. Because of the change of life style,
young people just looked at that mothers are busy, they do not think this is
related to their life, although they had ever worn tiger shoes, tiger hat in
their childhood which was made by their mothers, and there will be a pair of
embroidered pillows in the bottom of the boot when they got married,
the“foreign pillows” will be used in the daily life.
At present, on the surface, the Xiqin embroidery seems very popular,
Qianyang county has several professional associations and arts and crafts
companies, but another phenomenon can not be ignored, young people become
migrant workers, a few years later, will the hand skills of mothers also
fall into the plight of lost?
